The shrinking U.S. music industry generated barely as much value in 2012 as it did in 1966. As a result, there are 65% fewer jobs in the business and 80% fewer artists are signed today than 10 years ago – NMS helps both artists and industry players break through in this difficult market by providing the knowledge, tools, and connections they need to succeed – New Music Seminar believes the music industry can become a $100 billion business and we convene the leaders and visionaries who will take us there.
